So for those of you watching your calories closely, please pay attention to what you're eating and if you're using an app to calculate your calories. ALWAYS check the label ALWAYS CHECK THE LABEL. Don't just scan it and presume it's true. As seen here. I bought the protein ball thinking it was the same as a protein bar... So by the time I was half way through I saw that myfitnesspal was informing me i was rewarding myself with a measly 8g of protein... shocked and disappointed I checked the label and found just 6.5.... Wtf.... I thought this was a fucking PROTEIN ball. Anyway. I also noticed the fat content was higher and the calories were also higher compared to MFP. Point being... if you're on a fine calorie target, it's the finer points that matter. When people are not aware of where the calories come from.... you need to check the labels. It's anal and a pain in the ass but you put on the weight, now you need to get it off... it's on you so do the work. Pay attention to the details. . Pay attention to your calories now not necessarily forever but while you are trying to gain or lose weight properly, I firmly believe it's a great tool to assist you. It's not forever but it is for now... If youre serious about weightloss, write it down. ✌🏼 . ☣🥗🥘 .#projectbiohazard#bioathlete#diet#nutrition#eating#food#myfitnesspal#motivation#weightloss#fatloss#strength#calories#luvsum#protein#instagram#instagood#instapic#training#health#fitness

This is certainly not me right now after 4 days off of the gym but I aim for it to be me again! There’s nothing more healthy for the body than the mind getting healthier & I think that’s where I need to start focusing. In the words of @alwright9o, POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE!💪🏼🤓

Super huge accomplishment for me. WOW. I literally want to shed a tear lol for years, i have struggled with my weight. I know what you’re thinking, *eye roll* but my weight has been a sensitive topic for me for as long as I can remember. During the end of elementary/ early middle school I would get picked on because I was the smallest and skinniest girl. I remember feeling so left out when all the girls in my class were hitting their growth spurts and blossoming into young women and I looked at myself in the mirror and saw what looked like a little fourth grade little girl. It wasn’t easy growing up feeling like you were different from everyone else and being bullied because of your size didn’t make it that much easier. Fast forward a few years later.. my weight was average for my age and height but I still felt really skinny. I remember when I would visit my family in Mexico, the first thing they would always say was “mija, estás bien flaquita!” Or “es todo lo que vas a comer?” In Hispanic culture, being “skinny” is definitely not the norm. As insignificant as these comments and experiences may seem, they had an impact on me and basically made me hate my body. I was in a constant battle with myself and food, and while some people would comment on how “pretty and skinny” I was, I felt entirely dissatisfied with every inch of my body. So now here we are... just a few weeks ago I decided to shut off my negative comments about myself, and I decided to change my mentality. It all began with my mind. Whether you’re trying to lose weight or gain weight, do what makes YOU happy. Don’t listen to what others say about you. Use it as a fuel and become BETTER. Most importantly, do what is going to make you HEALTHY in the long run. After 13 years, I am finally now feeling happier with my body. I’m feeling much stronger. Powerful. Confident.... and this is only the beginning. Keep pushing through, whatever your goals may be. Celebrate every little victory because little victories add up to great things ✨ sorry for the long sappy post. Thanks for taking the time to read #transformation#progress#myfitnesspal#mind#body#loveyourself#exercise#goals#stayfocused#staytuned

Missing pole tonight 😭 That means 3 whole weeks without doing my fave activity! Defo won’t be able to pull off this move after stuffing myself over the Christmas period 😂 Anyone got a New Years resolution to take up pole fitness? If not then you should do 💕

I could eat this everyday! And I often do 💁

Tip💡: use 1 whole egg and supplement with egg whites. The yolk gives the eggs flavor but the whites add volume for less calories 🍽Morning Star garlic and quinoa veggie burger, 1 egg, 2 egg whites, spinach, peppers, onions, avocado on the side with everything but the bagel seasoning🤤 💪372 calories and 22 G protein

So, it’s Wednesday already... I’m shattered and really don’t want to get up, AGAIN!! 😴 . But I’d better jump in the shower and get ready for work 🚿 . Only 2 more sleeps to go & then I’m off until 7th Jan... wahoo!! ✨ . I am still failing to have a healthy day... continuing to over eat and binge, thankfully there’s only been one binge cycle a day as opposed to 3-4 that I was having 🙄 . I honestly feel the biggest I’ve felt in a very long time!! 😭 . I’m trying so hard to not let it bother me or get to me, but the truth is, it’s killing me deep down 😩 . I don’t want to weigh yet as I don’t want it to ruin my Christmas and New Year ⚖️ . I know if I see how heavy I am, I’ll get so upset and cancel events, not go to works meals etc in order to lose weight and get back to target weight 😕 . I’ve got a works meal tonight then we are going to a carol service which I’ve never ever been to before, so I’m intrigued to see what it’s like as everyone always says it’s amazing ❄️ . Then tomorrow I’m having a McDonalds for lunch and then the kids at work keep dropping hints about presents and a Millie’s cookie 🙈 . Then Friday we are ordering breakfast at work, followed by a staff Christmas meal before we finish 🙌🏼 . Then I can try again properly on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, to be on plan for a few days before Christmas ☃️ .#Wednesday#Plan#HealthyEating#BalancedDiet#CalorieCounting#CalorieDeficit#FatLoss#WeightLoss#MFP#MyFitnessPal#FlexibleDieting#Health#Fitness#FoodDiary#FoodLog#FoodBlogger#FoodTracker#HealthyLifestyle#HealthyFood#SlimmingWorld#SW#Dieting#Diet#SlimmingWorldUK#SWUK

I downloaded #myfitnesspal app earlier this month to start tracking my calories, I found out that I had an existing account already. When I finally got logged on, I noticed the weight that I entered in 2013. I truly don’t remember using this app prior, but the fact that I was trying to lose weight in 2013, weighing only 190lbs is mind blowing. Somehow in 5 years I managed to gain 70lbs.. I’m having one of those moments where I sit back and think “how the hell did I let myself get to this point” 😩 but hey. Life is life and I’m learning the hard way for the mistakes that were made in the past. Down 26lbs and I’m not stopping until I reach my goal of 170lbs —- 43lbs to lose until I get back to my weight in 2013 🤦🏻‍♀️ #igotthis#weightlossjourney#weightgain#throwback#5yearsago#stilldetermined#girlsgotgoals#lifechanges#lifestyle#healthymind#workoutharder#diabetic#pcos#life

Fast, easy, nutritious, and delicious! Tip💡: frozen berries are just as nutritious and last WAY longer! A mix of fruits (vitamins and minerals), healthy fats (nuts), fiber (chia seeds), and protein (Greek yogurt). 😋

Recently losing over 30 lbs, I found a love for health, fitness, and overall well-being. Here I post recipes, meal ideas, ways to stay fit, products I love, and ways to practice self care

Totally keep forgetting to post my walks 🙈 so whilst I’ve been away instead of using the bus/shuttle to get to places like the train station on Monday or to the shops/Disney parks this week we’ve been walking! Although yesterday morning we totally used the shuttle 😂🙈 one thing I’m not loving about walking here is that because it’s so damn cold my joints are killing me! My whole body hates me right now guys 😂😂 23.97km/100km 🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️

Okay guys: confession time. Today was a difficult food day. Really, it’s been a really difficult food month, or two. Last week during our Christmas shopping we had splurged and bought cookies and chocolate (it was delicious but too much). Then today we caved and bought some fast food for the first time in a long time (the only “fast food” we really buy is Subway veggie patty sandwiches but this was real drive thru take out). I wanted to try the new Wendy’s Bacon Maple Chicken sandwich. It was the first time I’d eaten bacon in over a year and it was delicious (sorry piggies 🐷😢) but now I feel guilty for wanting to try it cuz I always end up feeling bad anytime I eat pigs or cows, it hardly even seems worth it in the end. But that being said I definitely don’t plan on making this a habit and will be going right back to mostly vegetarian meals. Additionally, when shopping for our weekly groceries, we bought some Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes (which clock in at a staggering 200 calories each!!) and some Candy Canes that are a cool 50 calories a pop. I don’t usually indulge in so many desserts for the holidays so I’m planning on making these last until Christmas by only eating one a day instead of devouring the whole box in one sitting like I used to do (a fact I’m not proud to confess but a fact none the less). Luckily I also bought lots of yummy and filling sweet potatoes which are apparently only 180 calories for an entire baked sweet potato! With a little Sugar Free BBQ dipping sauce, that comes out to be the same as a single Little Debbie snack cake, but it’s so much more satisfying!! That and some grapes for a natural, sweet dessert are so much healthier, more filling and satisfying! Despite it all, I only went over my daily goal by 100 calories, and hopefully I’ll be more prepared with good healthy veggies so I don’t over eat again the rest of the week. Holiday eating is tough for most people, but I’m going to be attempting balancing out my day with these “good” and “bad” foods so I can have my Little Debbie snack cake, and eat it too! 😋 #holiday#holidayeating#eating#calories#caloriecounting#myfitnesspal#track#tracking#backontrack#diet#dieting

I kind of miss my weekly weigh ins... I will crack them out after Christmas as we all know the new year new me bullshit will be in full swing 😂

I’ve now lost 95lbs (43kg). I don’t think I will meet my Christmas goal of losing 100lbs but it’s ok. I thought I’d be annoyed but I’m not 👍

I’m starting to see the reality of what my body will look like after weight loss, and where/how much loose skin I’ll have ☺️ I think it’s important not to get hung up on things I can’t easily change. All I can do is try my best🌸
